Defense

Mission-ready. Field-tested. Combat-proven.

Whether you're deployed in active combat zones, conducting training exercises, or operating in high-risk environments, your gear must meet the highest standards of performance and reliability. Our military helmet systems are engineered to exceed those expectations—trusted by elite units and defense agencies across the globe.

From ballistic protection to lightweight bump helmets for aircrew and support personnel, our solutions are built for the mission at hand. Team Wendy is a proud contributor to the PANTHER Program, a multi-disciplinary research initiative focused on understanding, detecting, and preventing traumatic brain injuries supported by a grant from the U.S. Office of Naval Research. We apply these insights directly into our helmet designs, using cutting-edge ballistic materials—not dated technologies—to deliver superior protection without sacrificing weight or comfort.

Built for Every Branch. Designed for Every Role.

Whether a ground combat unit, a special operations team, or a Navy aircrew, we offer head protection configurations that can be tailored and adapted to your operational needs. Our bump helmets—commonly used by Navy aircrews and the Coast Guard—provide lightweight impact protection without sacrificing compatibility with the full range of mission critical systems that enhance the user’s situational awareness in dynamic environments. For ground forces, our ballistic helmets offer scalable protection with mission-specific accessories and mounting options including respiratory integrations in partnership with Avon Protection.
